So, because we had one for
JonTron, when that all went down...
Why not have a centralized topic for the Projared thing? I'd like to see everyone's take on it.
For those that haven't been on Twitter, or are out of the loop on the subject:
ProJared is an internet/YouTube personality, who has been doing videos for a good few years now. He's someone with over 1 million subs, and is part of NormalBoots, aka the group of YouTubers that include PBGamer, at one point JonTron, and others. He's good friends with the GameGrumps crew as well, being in a good few of their videos as a guest before.
He's also been married for a while, to his wife, Heidi O'Ferrall, a fairly popular cosplayer and artist.
And as of last night, ProJared announced that he would be getting a divorce from her.

In a rather unexpected chain of events, Heidi then took to Twitter as well, to fire back at Jared's statement.

According to the wife, Jared had cheated on her with former GameGrumps "Steam Train" host Ross O'Donovan's ex-wife Holly Conrad. Allegedly, he also had been sending explicit pictures to fans, which apparently are circulating the internet, and are completely not allowed to be posted here.
PeanutButterGamer also decided to join the fray, with a handful of some now deleted Tweets, decrying Heidi's comments as slander, and that she should not have posted anything about the reasoning behind the divorce publicly.
Most of the replies from PBG ended up deleted overnight, after backlash, though some remain.

GameGrumps has also removed all videos involving Jared from their channel.
Which, pretty much summarizes it all up.
You can see some definite fan backlash, as he's lost at least 40k subs, dropping below his once over 1 million sub mark

What do you make of it all?
